Do people understand how this works? People are used to using line breaks to
list items. I think if they knew they had to use nested tags for every list item
then they wouldn't bother with lists and do what I see people doing, type out
lists by hand.

Yeah it is pretty rough and bugs me a bit too, but is almost at the bottom of the list of things to do on dakka as everyone tends to have their own special way of formatting lists anyway.

This is how it works in HTML

1. Stuff #1


2. Stuff #2


3. Stuff #3

edit: woah it worked.

<ol> <li>Stuff #1</li> <li>Stuff #2</li> <li>Stuff #3</li> </ol>

I hadn't thought of using regular html tags. For some
reason, I thought they were disabled.

that was an ordered list. You can also do unordered.

• List item #1


• List item #2


• List item #3

<ul> <li>List item #1</li> <li>List item #2</li> <li>List item #3</li> </ul>

wee.

an experiment using CSS styling.

• Red


• Green


• Blue

<ul> <li >Red</li> <li >Green</li> <li >Blue</li> </ul>

nope, it didn't like that. It even removed it from inside the code block, weird.

This is what I tried, with - x - substituted.

- ul -
- li style="color:red; background-color:white" - Red - /li -
- li style="color:green; background-color:white" - Green - /li -
- li style="color:blue; background-color:white" - Blue - /li -
- /ul -

I may have made a mistake I am not a CSS master. I will look at it in a bit after I do some more s-tuf.

Selected HTML tags are fully supported, but certain attributes (like CSS, javascript, form fields) are not only blocked, but are completely stripped out to prevent malicious users from trying to exploit the login process. I normally just use plain HTML when formatting my text as I am more used to it than UBB.
